Google Sheets connection

The Google Sheets connection represents a single Google account including sign in credentials.

If you have multiple accounts, use a separate connection for each account and configure the URL accordingly. Pair a single connection with different Google Sheets operations to perform unique actions on a Google Sheets account.

Connection tab

The Google Sheets connector uses OAuth 2.0 credentials for authentication and authorization. The connection obtains OAuth 2.0 credentials from the Google API console (see the linked topic). The client obtains an access token from the Google Authorization Server, extracts a token from the response, and then sends the token to the Google API that you are asking to access. The connector automatically manages refresh tokens.

Authentication Type - OAuth 2.0 is the default and cannot be changed.

note

For OAuth 2.0 authentication, you may need to specify in the external application the Boomi callback or redirect URL. The callback URL is https://platform.boomi.com/account/<your_account_ID>/oauth2/callback where <your__account_ID> is your Integration account ID. You can also find your account ID in the Integration platform at Settings > Account > Account Information.

Client ID - Enter or paste your client ID from the Google Console.

Client Secret - Click Click to Set to open the Password window, enter or paste your client secret, and click Apply. Enable pop-up windows in your browser.

Access Token - Click Generate. When a new window opens asking you to confirm offline access, click Allow. A second message indicates the Authorization code was received.

Test Connection

You can test your connection settings before you use or save the connection in a process. The Test Connection ensures that your specified settings are correct, valid, and accessible. If the test connection is successful, you can save the connection. Otherwise, review and correct any incorrect settings, then test again.

Attention

You can only run the Test Connection against containers associated with your account (local runtimes, runtime clusters, and runtime clouds).

Test Connection troubleshooting

When testing the Google Sheets connection, access to both the Google Drive API and Google Sheets API are tested. If you did not enable the API's, or if there are issues connecting to them, you will receive a test connection error.
